I mainly want to point out two T-Shirts that are related to the issue, because of course I love T-Shirts too much for my own good. The first one is a quote directly from a Sony President, Most people don't even know what a rootkit is and the other one is a little snarky comment about Rootkit love: I <3 Rootkit.

At this point, most people haven't actually heard about the Sony Rootkit issue which is surprising because everyone who listens to music and has a computer needs to know about it.
